Daragh Hayes (37) and Cian Hayes (33) appeared before Limerick Circuit Criminal Court for sentencing for the savage unprovoked attack
Two Limerick brothers beat a man with a hurley and a wrench, breaking several of his bones, wrongly believing he had been involved in a relationship with one of their ex-partners, a court heard Thursday.
They eventually stopped when they realised he was “telling the truth” and that he had not been romantically involved with Darragh Hayes’s ex-partner and mother of his two young children, Claire McNamara, the court heard. However, the two accused immediately began questioning Mr Ryan about a text message he had sent to Ms McNamara, several months beforehand and prior to the couple separating, which was entirely innocent in nature, the court heard.
He sustained multiple fractures, bruising all over his body, and a collapsed lung. Ms Buckley said: “They hit him all over his body, he slid onto the floor and was roaring at them to stop, he tried to clam them down, he was finding it hard to breath due to a collapsed lung from the impact.” “Mr Ryan believed at this point that he had broken his knee cap, he was begging for them to stop, but they just carried on,” said Ms Buckley.
